One question...did you have the bonnet sprayed in situ or did they remove it?

I don't know, they said they would, I removed and refitted the letters and all the other bits with the exception of the bonnet grill which they did. Sorry I can't be more help. Geoff |

Did you have to do any prep work on the lettering? Mine are looking a bit sad (Brunel) and I know that the paint can be made up. Another question, spray or brush? |

Could be worth investing in a new set of letter from Dan @ Duckworths. The latest TITAN lettering really freshens things up. |

I'm trying to keep the car original as possible. |

Letters were actually very easy, got them off with a sharpened scraper and although the bonnet was being sprayed I was careful not to do any damage, masking tape and/or cloth when sliding said scraper under the letters. Then I got the tape residue off, and put my own on, then light rub down, sprayed with Simoniz 5 wheel silver, lots of light coats finished of with some acrylic lacquer -again lots of thin coats. You need to make a template before removing letters so you can stick them back on in right place - they sit on an arc, not straight.

So, final piece close to dropping in place, just ordered some new mirror caps (Oslo Blue) from Dan (yes he still has a few sets left) will get them sprayed and fitted when tailgate is done. I reckon I will break the chrome ones getting them off, particularly as one already has a crack in it
